Dear High School,
It has been fun
Except not really.
It’s about time to retire
So that I can go to college.
I look forward to our parting moment
In a bittersweet way.

Skyrim Retirement Letter
From all the hours were have spent together
Exploring a world known to many others
From all the draugers we have encountered
In the Berkshires we’ve spelunked
All the Nord armor we have collected
On our quest to Daedric
Finding all the Dragon priests
And collecting their masks
Killing dragons
To acquire stronger shouts
The merchants we’ve bought from
And cities we are thanes in
While we leveled up our speech, destruction, and alchemy
It was you Dragonborn
Who made the land of Skyrim
Oh so special

A Haiku for Your Stress
My philosophy:
If you worry about it
You will suffer twice

The Land Before Time
Sometimes I wonder,
Who are my parents?
Then I had thought,
Was I bought off clearance?
Sometimes it feels that way,
“Go to your room Cole,
No dinner for you today,”
That always makes me sad,
But at the end of the day,
I do love my Dad.

Retirement Letter
Dear Penn Manor,
You were one hell of a run, a dive into the deep end, and a drug I have never experienced before. You lead me to loyal friends and collided me with snitches that got their stitches. You put me through social embarrassment while faking a laugh along the way. You were a movie that has reached its long and unexpected needing. You gave me the experience of unforgettable knowledge that I will pass on to someone of my own some day. I will appreciate you from a distance far and unknown without ever looking back. From the depths of my lungs, you will be the last puff of smoke that leaves my body.
Goodbye Penn Manor High School,
~T.C
A Smile From Within
Happiness isn’t the company of another
Without internal happiness, it can’t be genuine
Find your own happiness

Heartbreak Hurts
Heart break tears you down
I don’t wish on anyone
But find a better man.

My Children’s 6 Word Memoirs to Me at My Funeral.
He was a spirit lifter father.
He taught me the good deeds.
He never let you down ever.
He was there when needed most.
Through the ups and downs times.
His name was Ty Jacob Erisman.
The best father for four children.
He changed all of our lives greatly.
Goodbye old man who loved us.
We will love and miss you.
Forever and ever and ever eternity.

Retirement to Dance in 50 Years
Dear dance,
I remember the moment that you were the one for me.
When my Mother plays the sound of beats and drums in the little pink DVD player, and her little girl who just took her first steps is dancing like a little soldier.
When Mother switches to the soft sound of music, and her baby starts to switch position to sway along.
She mutters, “Our little girl won’t be playing soccer.”
The moment I looked at my first ballet teacher, I knew it would be a perfect match.
Through the tears.
Threw the blisters.
Through the bruises.
Dance motivated me.
I learned to love the pain that led to accomplishment.
When one choreographer says “NO”, I will go and find one thats says “YES”.
Dance brought joy.
Dance brought love.
Dance brought release of emotions.
I am ever so grateful to the gift that God gave me.
The gift that has helped me to achieve the purpose he had for me.
The gift that brought me to achieve my biggest dreams.
It is time to say goodbye.
It’s been a great life full of 5..6..7..and 8.

My Dear Ethiopia
Since the day I saw you
I have loved you,
Your culture and rich tradition
I bowed to.
You have carried me with your love,
From day one to eleven, my beloved;
“Mother Ethiopia” I called you,
Home of Lucy, and animals like Kangaroo
Day by day you get more beautiful,
Just like your people and view.
I will see you soon,
That I promise you;
But till that day, I will say,
Mother Ethiopia, My Ethiopia I love you.

Dear Grandpa
Dear Grandpa,
I love you.
Playing and coloring at your house
I loved being with you, dad didn’t
The fighting I heard
Didn’t change my love for you
The things mom said about you
Didn’t change my love for you.
Christmas,
Seeing the smile on your face
While taking pictures with us opening gifts
The smile you had
In the pictures with us
Then you weren’t in them
No beautiful smile to brighten my day
Going into the hospital
For the last time
Didn’t realize this heart attack
Would be the last
I will love you forever
I will always remember your smile
And everything you did for me
I’ll see you again someday.
Love,
Me

A Collection of Random Thoughts
“Always expect the worst out of things
so that in
case the worst
occurs, you were
ready for it.
If the worst
doesn’t occur,
then you will be
surprised and
happy when the
situation turned
out to be better than you thought it would.”
“Whenever
something doesn’t go the
way it was planned
or how somebody wanted
it to, someone they know will say, “get
over it, life isn’t fair”. But if that is said to
everyone, shouldn’t that mean that life
isn’t fair to anyone? If life isn’t fair to
anyone, everybody gets the some
unfairness.. Doesn’t this mea that life is fair?.”
“If you are supposed to treat people
the way you want to be treated, then
why do people harm each other? Does
that mean they want to be harmed
back? If you ever want to harm someone
in any way shape or form whether
it is physically, socially, mentally, spiritually
, or emotionally, think that you are asking
for the same thing to be done to you.”

Lamp
i am much like a lamp; hollowed out with a man living inside me. though, if you rub my belly you won’t find a genie, no, you’ll find an overcast of daddy issues and just the right amount of self deprecating jokes. you won’t find a genie,
but you will find a tidal wave of suppressed memories, but don’t worry you can grab onto a piece of my broken heart and ride it out. veins pumped to the brim with self hatred. lungs filled with a air of those who disarmed my words; breathing in and out their toxicities.

“Dear Penn Manor”
Dear Penn Manor,
Thanks for the friends,
I wouldn’t have them
Without you.
Thanks for the early mornings
And the late nights
With work, people, and thoughts
you gave me
I’ll never forget how you
Helped me learn to be
A team player,
A hard worker,
And an adult.
From football games,
To bring your tractor
To school day,
I will never forget you
See ya around,
J.T.
I am Adventurous and Thoughtful
I wonder about what life holds.
I hear the sound of horses galloping.
I see the smiling sun shine on the river.
I want to be able to replay my dreams.
I am adventurous and thoughtful.
I pretend that life is a memory.
I feel that we are all created equal.
I touch God’s beautiful creatures.
I worry about the people across the ocean.
I cry about the things I haven’t done.
I am adventures and thoughtful.
I understand no one is perfect.
I say “live life to the fullest”.
I dream about life with no bullying.
I try to be the best I can be.
I hope to never regret what I have done.
I am adventures and thoughtful.

The Delicate Dancing Shoes
As I wait backstage my heart pounds in fear.
If I mess up, will I loose my job?
Will I lose my pride?
Will I lose every ounce of confidence left in my body?
“Dont mess up”, I try to tell myself.
It’s almost my cue.
The numbers 5, 6, 7, and 8 rolling through my brain.
I hear the last drumbeat and my entrance begins.
On top of my box I go and bourree to my spot.
The millions of eyes staring right at me.
This is the moment I have been waiting for all my life.
Why live in fear?
When you can live your life doing what you love.

Life In Six Words
Always falling, spiraling down, never stops.
Autumn day, smiles joyfully, winter’s coming.
Want’s sensation, searches for, doesn’t find.
~Jagur Zimmerman
Where I’m From
I am from the hourglass, from time
I am from the earth, Mysterious; foreign
I am from the thorn, the weed of the ground
I am from the chaos, the competition of life
From Mary to Joseph from God
I am from the liars, the cheaters
I’m from sayings, “life doesn’t owe you anything”
I’m from a belief to “trust no one”
I am from behind the curtain in the temple
From the corner of the sanctuary
I am from darkness, from the bitterness
From dates and prunes
I’m from the alcoholics and the drug addicts, the swindlers
I’m from the forgotten memory of a time of serenity
I’m from hatred, from the thoughts of suicide that burn in the mind
I’m from the haunted house, I am the thoughts of the ghosts
I’m from the father that left, the mother that abused
I am from the arguments and the lies
I am a dark stormy sea
Desperately trying to drown her crew
I am from the rain, the quells
I am from all things people avoid
But I am still me.
~J.W.
This is Me
People see me as Etsub,
A girl like a flower that bloom.
Knows what she wants and go out to get it;
These opinions became a habit.
I tell myself every day, you are perfect;
All these lies I didn’t see the effect.
No one would believe,
If I told them the real me…
I am a girl that is lost trying to find her way around,
Still searching for a common ground.
When I say I got it just disappears,
One after another all these years.
They tell me Etsub you are amazing;
I tell them that it is not surprising.
I have experienced all facets of life,
I can possibly think of.
I try to fly freely like a dove,
Cause all this thing I need to get rid of,
But always fall short,
Guilt, sorrow, anger, sadness,
I try to leave all in his presence…
~Estub Tolossa
Six Word Memoirs Representing Life
Wait, what happened I wasn’t listening
Did I meet the minimum requirement?
It can wait one more day
In life we live to work
Someone will always be less fortunate
Truth isn’t always the right thing
Life’s good until it’s too late
You need money to get money
Everyone could use a little help
